Children of Fire Mountain was a 13-part miniseries from New Zealand made in 1979 for South Pacific Television.
(Now known as TVNZ 2)[1] That year it received the Feltex Television Awards for "Best Drama", "Best Script", and Terence Cooper as "Best Actor" for his role as Sir Charles Pemberton.
In 2010, a DVD was released in the Czech Republic and also in Slovakia (with original Slovak dubbing for both countries).
The story took place in New Zealand in 1900 and portrays the conflict between the world of the Maori and the white settlers.
While it initially gets off to a rocky start, with Tom getting into a lot of trouble with his friends for being rude to their English guests, it leads to a friendship through which Sir Charles is shown the error of his ways in trying to push through his plans.
